Piggy's Place - Honolulu

I have been hearing various endorsements about this restaurant.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! The Kalua Pork Loco Moco is my go-to dish. It has quickly become my preferred lunch spot, conveniently located in Shirokiya near my workplace. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive.

We wanted to try Hawaiian kalua pork without all the fanfare (and cost) of a luau, and heard that Piggy's was good. Although it was a bit challenging to find, it was definitely worth the effort. Piggy's is one of many stands in the Shirokiya Japan Village Walk, a large food court located in the basement and first floor of the Ala Moana Shopping Center. I'm not sure if it's officially part of the shopping center, as there is a separate entrance on the first floor that overlooks the parking lot near the grocery store. It may seem a little inconvenient to find, but once inside, you'll notice a predominantly Japanese crowd, a fantastic Japanese pen/stationary store along one wall, and live entertainment most nights. It's hard to put into words, but definitely worth a visit. We eventually found Piggy's after asking for directions. Overall, our experience was great.

I have heard many people recommend this restaurant to me.

The food at this restaurant was decent, but I was disappointed by the management. We decided to participate in the gacha shop magic fair, where it was advertised that $1 equals 1 point, but we were actually upcharged by 30% when we placed our order. It appears that this restaurant is trying to take advantage of unsuspecting customers for a quick profit. The overall quality of the food also reflects this. In my opinion, Piggy's Place has turned the Japanese village walk into an expensive cafeteria.
